It has a lot of nice features. A quest mode where you dance your way, trying to gain fans and money and hopefully unlock new songs. Work out mode, which is what I usually use it for. It has Beginner, Basic and a few other difficulty levels. <br /> <br />If your new to DDR there is also a Tutorial mode which is nice. <br /> <br />My only real gripe is the music. I find it hard to pick up the beat to techno type songs. <br /> <br />If your like me and perfer R&B songs, Ultramix 1 is the better choice. While it doesn't have as many features as 4, it has more then 1 or 2 R&B selections and some that arent but are easy to pick up the beat to that you won't mind listening/dancing to. <br /> <br />I wish the company would release DDR titles that caters to all the different music styles so your not stuck with 100 songs and you only like 2.

The game has arrows that flow from the bottom to the top of the screen and you step down when the arrow reaches the top. Its simple on easy for beginners, and insanely difficult for the pros. <br /> <br />The real selling point for this type of game is the music and quite honestly the music in Ultramix 4 a big turnoff. Its really unenjoyable. However, for $[...] you can download previous Ultramix soundtracks via X-Box Live (if you have the previous games). <br /> <br />Ultramix 4 has new features like a calorie counter, training mode and workout mode. Training mode is pretty good for new people like me just learning. Workout mode is continuous dancing and if calorie counter is enabled you can see that you burn about 100 calories an hour on easy. This is not a replacement workout, unless you are a hardcore DDR veteran. <br /> <br />There are several modes like Battle Mode, Callenge Mode, but the main mode is Adventure, where you go through a city via a map and pay game money to dance battle computer characters. Not only can you get two mats and DDR with a friend right there, but there is online compatibility that will keep you dancing. <br /> <br />You can even make your own dance patterns with an in game editor. You can even edit background videos, but both features are very cumbersome and not worth your time to do. <br /> <br />As for the dance pad, it shifts on carpet, so its best if you have a hard wood floor, but then all of the "dancing" might be hard on your feet. <br /> <br />You can and should skip this product. <br /> <br />Here is a list of the music that is not hidden: <br />Arms (Alpha Omega Mix) Monolithic <br />Because I Got It Like That (Freestylers Indett Mix) Jungle Brothers <br />Big Up (Binghi Ghost Remix) Drew Campbell <br />bitmania Akira Yamaoka <br />BLUE IMPULSE (for EXTREME) NAOKI feat.
